The game was the very first RPG to be released for the Super Famicom, coming out six months after the console's launch. Gdleen is based off an <a href="/games-based-on-anime/3015-765/" data-ref-id="3015-765">anime</a> OVA (original video animation) of the same name from 1990 by Tokyo Laboratory. Both the game and the anime are adapted from a series of light novels that were released from 1989 to 1991 by Yuto Ramon titled <em>Jikou Wakusei Gdleen</em>.</p><p>The game is a traditional turn-based RPG that uses a first-person perspective in battle, similar to the <a href="/dragon-quest/3025-160/" data-ref-id="3025-160">Dragon Quest</a> series. The setting is a cross between fantasy and sci-fi: the protagonist, Ryuun, is an astronaut that crash lands on a planet filled with magic (the eponymous Gdleen).</p>
